[Verse 1]
I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and strings and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's

[Chorus 1]
I held my hand in the fire
It burned me down to the wires

[Verse 2]
Blood suckers hide beneath my bed
And black fumes of sleep so gently bled
I slept with a cat on my breast
Slowing my heart, stealing my breath

[Chorus 2]
At sunrise, the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes

[Verse 3]
I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and string and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's
[Chorus 2]
At sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes
